Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot care technology, specifically a diabetic foot care device. Background Technology
[0002] Diabetic foot refers to a disease state in diabetic patients where ulcers and gangrene develop in the foot due to decreased lower limb protective function caused by neuropathy, and insufficient arterial perfusion resulting from macrovascular and microvascular disease. Patients with diabetic foot often experience symptoms such as ulcers, foot infections, and deep tissue destruction.
[0003] Existing devices for diabetic foot use hot water to cleanse the feet and promote blood circulation. They typically include a shaft within the foot-washing container with multiple rollers for massaging the feet, or massage balls at the bottom of the container. However, the limited space inside these containers means that when the feet are massaged, gaps exist between the rollers and massage balls, and the rotation is limited to a confined area, making it difficult to fully massage the feet. Prolonged friction in a fixed area can cause foot damage in diabetic patients. Furthermore, if the container is large, it becomes relatively heavy, making it difficult for diabetic patients to move daily. Even after the water is drained and the feet are cleaned, the remaining water droplets can easily breed microorganisms, potentially infecting the wounds on the feet.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a diabetic foot care device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figure 1-9 A diabetic foot care device includes a controller 1, which is equipped with a circulation pump and valves, as well as a water heating mechanism and a massage structure, with the massage structure located below the water heating mechanism.
[0033] The water heating mechanism includes a heating tube 27, an infrared heating lamp 28, and a container 291. The controller 1 has a first water inlet 21 and a second water inlet 22 at both ends. The container 291 has a first water outlet 23 and a second water outlet 24 at the inner side. A connecting shell 25 is fixedly connected inside the container 291, and the heating tube 27 is installed inside the connecting shell 25.
[0034] The massage structure includes a drive motor 33, a first sprocket 35 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 33, a chain 37 is meshed and connected to the outer side of the first sprocket 35, a second sprocket 36 is meshed and connected to the inner side of the chain 37, a second fixing plate 38 is fixedly connected to the side end of the chain 37, and a massage ball 34 is movably connected to the second fixing plate 38.
[0035] A cover plate 292 is slidably connected to the top of the container 291, a fixing rod 294 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 292, and an exhaust hole 293 is provided on the cover plate 292.
[0036] A heat sensor 29 is provided on the inner side of the container 291, and a water exchange hole 26 is provided on the side of the connecting shell 25.
[0037] Infrared heating lamp 28 is installed on the inner wall of the top of container 291.
[0038] Operating Procedure: The system connects to the second inlet 22 via an external water pipe. The internal circulation pump of controller 1 is activated, discharging water into container 291 through the first outlet 23. The valve at the second outlet 24 is closed. Once the water level in container 291 reaches a certain height, the circulation pump in controller 1 and the valve near the first outlet 23 are closed. Water then flows through hole 26 into the connecting housing 25. The heating element 27 is activated to heat the water. The temperature is monitored in real-time by the thermal sensor 29, allowing for timely power disconnection to prevent water from escaping from container 291. When the water is too hot, the patient places their feet in container 291 for soaking. When the washing is complete, the valve inside the controller 1 is opened, allowing water to flow out from the second outlet 24 and the first inlet 21. After the water flows out, the remaining water droplets are manually adjusted by the fixing rod 294, which causes the cover plate 292 to slide on the container 291, thereby sealing the container 291. The infrared heating lamp 28 is then activated to heat the inside of the container 291. The hot air from the water evaporation is discharged through the exhaust port 293, and the generated high temperature is used to disinfect the inside of the container 291.
[0039] Example 2:
[0040] Please see Figure 1-9 This embodiment provides a technical solution for a diabetic foot care device based on embodiment one: the second sprocket 36 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the container 291 via a shaft, and the drive motor 33 is installed inside the container 291.
[0041] The massage structure also includes a first fixing plate 31, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the container 291. A waterproof and breathable composite fabric 32 is provided in the middle of the first fixing plate 31. The drive motor 33 and the chain 37 are provided on the lower side of the first fixing plate 31. The massage ball 34 and the second fixing plate 38 are provided on the lower side of the waterproof and breathable composite fabric 32.
[0042] Working process: Place the foot on the waterproof and breathable composite fabric 32, start the drive motor 33, causing the first sprocket 35 to rotate. The rotation of the first sprocket 35 drives the chain 37 to rotate, the rotation of the chain 37 drives the second sprocket 36 to rotate, and the rotation of the chain 37 drives the second fixed plate 38 to move. The massage ball 34 moves as a whole. Since the massage ball 34 contacts and abuts the bottom of the waterproof and breathable composite fabric 32, and the massage ball 34 can roll on the second fixed plate 38, the massage ball 34 massages the patient's foot through the waterproof and breathable composite fabric 32. Multiple first sprockets 35 and second sprockets 36 are set to prevent the chain 37 from becoming loose, which would cause insufficient contact between the massage ball 34 and the first fixed plate 31, resulting in a lack of massage effect.
